At the moment.... The French.
Specifically French air traffic controllers
Today I've lived out of Gatwick departurees firstly because a aerobridge crashed into the plane, obviously they needed to omect the aircraft to !ake sure it's still flight worthy... That was hours ago, however we missed out slot over France so we've been delayed like a lot of other flights goimg through French airspace.

Getting a mattress delivered, annoying enough that ours needed replacing (spring went), so there's the expense but that's not what pissed me off. The delivery company have given a 3 hour time slot - 6:30am - 9:30.
I normally get up at 8:30 but now I'm gonna have to set the f
king alarm at 6 o fking clock in the morning. s. What sort of tt delivers things at 6 fking 30 in the bd morning 
You can guarantee that they'll turn up at 9:30 after I've been awake three and half fking hours!

Why are people so tribal about mayonnaise vs. salad cream? They share the same main ingredients (oil, eggs, vinegar) and both are fine condiments.
In fact, growing up my mum always made egg based sandwiches with salad cream rather than mayonnaise. Not only was this filling still referred to as egg mayonnaise despite the lack of any mayonnaise, it was, and remains, the superior method of making an egg based sandwich filling. I will not be accepting any arguments on this point of fact.
Having lit the touch paper, I shall now retire to a safe distance.

t. The correct way to make an egg sandwich is to mash the hard boiled egg with some salad cream (as long as it's Heinz) and a bit of pepper.

That is correct for a basic egg mayonnaise sandwich, but I also like to jazz it up a but by adding to that a pinch of salt, some chopped cherry tomato (but not too much otherwise it makes the filling go mushy) and water cress.
Bread ought to be crusty white bloomer, thickly sliced and lightly buttered.

Garlic is st, onions are st, all alliums are st and chillis are st. People should learn to eat their food without a load of extra and strong flavours masking the taste of basic good food. And they should lay off the salt too.

Like those who just have to have Brown or Tomato sauce on everything. Agree with you on the salt though.
( Even on a Sunday roast, there’s a reason why it’s not on the table... made worse when they enquire about it.)

Surely you mean salad cress?
I haven’t heard it called that before... we used to just say egg & cress sandwiches.CharlesdeGaulle said:
Salad cress and water cress are different. The former is that stuff you grew at school on blotting paper, and the latter looks more like spinach, has a stronger flavour and grows in slow moving rivers.
I’ve had both... but the former is probably better for sandwiches.The latter is better on salads.
NB: There seems to be a lot of recipes online for ‘egg & cress’ sandwiches...
( And Mayo does seem popular).
